That Cute Girl. By The Caracas Bohemian. Comments to: vene_wanderer73@hotmail.com The story about a blonde college student that transforms into a true heroine for her boyfriend. Translated by A fan of his work AKA An inspiration of his. October of 1998 passed by. Carlos was already in his classroom, expectant, since it was his first day of classes in the University. He achieved being admitted to study administration after approving the respective admission exam, for which he had mixed his brain for two entire months. Such a period of sacrifice paid of. Finally he was sitting down on his desk, waiting for the professor. He was also exited to meet his new college buddies. But most importantly, his female classmates were the ones he wanted to catch a glimpse of. The university had a reputation to have the best looking girls. Most of them wanted to try out modelling careers. And Carlos was confirming that reputation. Carlos was an ok student in high school. He could have been better, but he dedicated more time in sports. Specially soccer. He was very easy going and calm. Polite and with moral standards very well established. To much for the world we live in. Before the professor arrived, our main character was already beginning conversations with who he would share his studying miseries. The group of friends inside the course. His first college friendships. He harmonized with people like Mario who also played indoor soccer; Rosali­a a not very sharp, but well centred and mature girl , Simón, the "brain" of the group who would help them in mathematics, statistical and other subjects of calculation belonging to the career; Johnny, very extroverted, a guy that always looks at the bad time with good face; Carmen, charming fat girl who would always went to the games in which Carlos and Mario would play to give them support, and lastly, a cute girl, the true main character of this story was: Norelys, a blond girl that would unite later to the group, but that from the beginning would get Carlos' attention. Carlos noticed her ever since they presented themselves at the admission exam in the same classroom. She was tall with straight blond hair. Her eyes were the colour of honey. She always dressed in a conservative way, avoiding to show her body, but even this way people noticed that it was deviously curvilinear. She put on little makeup , but that first day of class she presented herself in a natural way. That detail would end up hooking Carlos, because he likes authentic people, hence him being like that. Time would pass, and that companionship would go consolidating into a beautiful friendship. But like it was put at the beginning, Norelys had not been integrated from the beginning. She had a charming personality. Those that talked to her were charmed by the way she was. But she had a habit: She was always the first one leaving the classroom once the classes of the day were finished. She didn't stay to talk with her classmates, or leave the university together with them. Carlos was always pending of her. In the beginning he wanted to approach her. Indeed he made it during class when they spoke of the same topics, but outside of the university he was never able to locate her, not even in the corridors of the campus. Once he decided to follow her. Of course, making sure to keep a distance so that she would not notice his presence. But on that occasion she didn't come out quickly of the university, like she had accustomed to, but rather she began to travel the campus. It was a very big campus, one of the biggest of the domestic universities. One in which they imparted many other careers in diverse specialties. It had a great infrastructure. It was practically an university city. But what got Carlos' attention was that she always went to the different sport dependences that the other faculties had. She entered the roofed gyms, the courts and the offices where the sport organizations of each sport met. Carlos began to wonder Could she be into sports? Would she register in a sport of some kind? MMMMM - Carlos was moved with that possibility. Finally Norelys entered the building of another faculty. Medicine. There, between robes and future doctors, our friend followed her, but because of the people, since it was already the leaving hour, he lost her. - Dammit! - he was said to himself. - I lost that Cute Girl - He began to look for her for among the dependences, without finding her. After a long while, Carlos was discouraged. He had lost sight of her and he would have to wait until the next day to be able to speak with her. The curiosity killed him and he resolved to know her thoroughly and to make himself known. If he likes a woman, she would in fact be an athlete and our friend already felt something for her. - That Girl.. That Cute Girl.... - he said while he left the place. And the days passed this way. The university already began to exercise it's influence on the naive students. They had already presented two first mid terms in each of the subjects. They had travelled half of the academic road and Carlos was beginning to surrender, although it cost him a little to take that new life like an university student. - definitively this doesn't resemble in anything high school - Mario told him once. - papers and more papers, task after the other every day -, but along came Simón and reminded them a sentence that they were told the first day of classes -the university is not for slackers, neither for careless people -. Even this way, our boys took time to leave on Fridays, after class, to amuse themselves and then to come to an agreement to leave one Saturday or one Sunday, but when the pressure of classes was strong, they began to study together. Maybe on the campus or someone's home. Usually it was at Johnny´s where they passed some hilarious moments, due to his proverbial sense of humour. Little by little, Carlos began more and conversations with Norelys. Little by little they were getting to know each other and it turned out that there was some likeness. Of course, the girl never found out that Carlos followed her that time while she travelled the other faculties, but on an occasion Carlos made the comment that he was soccer player and that he liked sports. But she didn't seem to be interested in the matter and she changed the topic, leaving our friend very intrigued. - have i made a mistake? - he thought, but he didn't make a fuzz about it . There was a detail: Norelys began to have certain interest in Carlos, due to his form of being, but beacause she was a reserved person, she didn't tell him. - It is necessary to take my time - she said to herself. Carlos always observed her and he began to notice something peculiar in her physique, in spite of the fact that it showed very little due to her baggy clothes. Carlos noticed a certain healthy air, of vigor, around her. Also the expressions and movements, in spite of being very feminine, were agile. In an occasion she received a call on her cell phone, it was something urgent, and the girl came out rapidly towards the entrance of the faculty. Her father had taken her a paper that she had forgotten at home and it was a task for that day, She was lucky that the class of that subject would be at the last hour. Carlos, Mario, Simón and company noticed the speed in with which she ran. - did you see how fast she runs? - Carmen asked. Carlos and Mario also noticed that her movements were those of an athlete. Finally, after some weeks, Norelys was integrated definitively into the group. Our friend had already entered in trust with her. Little by little that friend grew more solid, although Norelys, continued with the same habit of leaving classes all alone, something that her friends, including Carlos, respected, not without before requesting them one day that they excused her for not going out with them one Friday - it is that i have a things to do - she told them. Carlos had a lot of curiosity to know what it was. So he decided to follow her a second time. Once again Norelys went to the medicine faculty. Carlos followed her from a distance, as always. And just that other occasion, the girl went to an office near a gym, in the place in which Carlos had lost her the previous time. This time our friend was ready and not willing to lose the lead. He hid and stood a post. The minutes passed that later transformed in one hour, Carlos had sat down on a bench and he began to grow impatient. - What the hell can she bew doing in there?. he wondered. Seeing that the minutes passed by, he opted to go once and for all to that office. He definitively didn't know the university completely, he had not the time, or he just wasn't interested in knowing it since he was dedicated entirely to his studies. Finally he walked towards the end of the door in which the cute girl had walked through. He saw that it lead to a hallway with many doors on the sides. Carlos didn't pay attention to them. He just followd th hallway towards the last door. He heard metallic objects making odd noises. They grew louder as he reached the door. He opened it and found a small gym behind the wooden door. It had weight machines of al sorts. Bikes and all types of exercise machines. He noticed at first only two well shaped guys lifting weights. An older man approached our hero. "May I help you?", the man asked. "I am new", Carlos responded. "I am just exploring the campus offices and looking for some info". The older man started a speech on the machinery equipment when Carlos notices Norelys. She was exercising her legs with heavy weights. Carlos watched her without her noticing him. After the man in charge finished talking, Carlos asked if he could finish checking the place around. The man did not object and left our friend to himself. Carlos took the opportunity to find a strategic place to hide. Carlos felt somewhat disappointed. It was a gym and he assumed he would see his friend in a more revealing gym attire. Instead, ll he saw was the cute girl in the same baggy clothes she always wore. He noticed the effort in which she exercised her legs. He tried to focus in how many bars she was using. He was amazed to count 8 bars. She was using 8 bars for each set of 15 repetitions. Carlos asked the man in charge how much weigh was she exercising with. The man looked at him in the eye and told him she was the entire weight was over 150 pounds. "That girl is amazing", he continued. "She started at the beginning of the semester and she just doesn't stop. She keeps adding weight every day". Carlos once again turned his attention to his blonde friend. The girl now started to exercise her arms. It was incredible. The effort she made to force the weight. Satisfied now, Carlos left the gym making sure that Norelys did not see him. Or so he thought. The beautiful blonde caught a glimpse of him while he talked to the man in charge. Carlos left the building thinking about the blonde girl. He was still restless. He had not seen her entire physic. Something the blonde did not show for a reason. Friday and Saturday passed by in a flash. Sunday had a gorgeous sunrise and Carlos was determined to play some soccer in the park just as he had done every single weekend for a long time. He found Mario and some of the other classmates from college. Carlos found a great opportunity to star forming a small team. They played together and had an ok performance despite being the first time they played together. At noon exactly, Mario and the bos left, leaving Carlos playing with others that had joined the fellows in the course of the morning. He played two more matches when he noticed someone watched him over the distance. It was girl he was unable to recognize due to the distance that separated them. He kept on playing as if nothing. The energy was not the same as the ones he had in the morning. He was running more slowly now. The game wore on and Carlos was burning up all that he had left in him. Still he felt a pair of eyes over him. He looked at the place where he had spotted the girl before. She was no longer there. He looked around searching for her. He finall caught a glimpse of the girl that watched the game near the band stands. Finally he managed to recognize her. It was Norelys who waved and smiled at him. For a second he got distracted in the field. He regained focus and started playing harder. Determined to impress his friend. But the morning matched took their toll and he ended up being more tired than ever. His team lost forcing them out of the field. That is when Carlos approached her. "How are you Norelys?", the tired boy asked. "What brings you here?" "I was jogging when I Caught a glimpse of you". The cute girl wore again a sweat shirt and pants. They were al sweated out. "I was about to finish my routine". Carlos told her that he was going to drink some water and asked if she was going to finish her routine somewhere else. Norelys told him to go on. She would wait for him. Carlos headed for the nearest fountains and drank some water. He washed his face and went back to his friend. He found her doing some warm up exercises. She is ready to leave he thought to himself. He than noticed her walk up to a pair of parallel bars and started doing a gymnast routine. Carlos watched marvelled as the girl did the repetitions. He was amazed on the grace in which she did them. Norelys noticed Carlos silence and a small smiled curled on her lips. The cute girls finished her repetitions and sat on top of one of the bars. "Hey Carlos ... Do you still have energy left? Want to exercise?", she asked with a wink. Carlos just looked amazed. "No thanks. I am beat. I feel wasted. Girl ... since when do you practice that?" "It has been a while", she answered. "Listen ... this Friday you did something I do not appreciate". "Me?", Carlos asked acting innocent. "YES!", she said. "You spied on me. I thought you were a gentleman, but gentleman don't spy on young ladys. Stalking them". The girl was very serious while our friend avoided her eyes. His face turning bright red while she spoke. Finally looking up, he looked at her eyes. "Yes, I followed you". Carlos explained that it was mere curiosity. He wondered where she went after classes. He felt she was evading him and her classmates. He was also very careful not to mention he liked her. As he gave the explanation, he fumbled through the words. It was miracle he had gotten them out. Norelys did not mind. At first she had a stern look on her face, but after a while she loosend up. On her insides she just smiled. "Poor guy ... he can't find a clear explanation without revealing his true motive". She finished listening to his explanations and just said everything was alright giving the boy a big smile. The smile put at ease you Carlos. The girl reincorporated herself on the bars to continue her routine. All under Carlos' keen eyes. When she finished another 11 repetitions, she looked at Carlos. "I saw you talking to the gym manager last time", she said. Carlos responded "I was amazed on what you can do. I also wondered if you worked out, since last time you ... ". Norelys interrupted him. "Ahhhh ... so you have been following me for a while?" She said it with a mischievous smile on her face. "No! No! ... Don't take it the wrong way", Carlos stampered. "I was just curious because you visited the other faculties and the gyms. That is all. Seriously". Norelys put on a serious face. On her insides she knew Carlos liked her. The feeling was mutual. Little did he know that she watched him in his soccer matches. Evidently, Norelys was a sportswoman. She hit the gyms every day. She like the university gyms because they were basically free. The private ones were extremely expensice. Those were the reason she had gotten a set of weights, still, the girl needed the machinery. That is why she explored the university campus. In search for the right gym. She had found it on the medicine faculty. Norelys practiced sport since she was little. Her specialty was gymnastics in all it's styles, including the ritmic, having participated in many competitions. She would gain a lot of body flexibility, but her legs were the ones that truly developed the muscular due to the discipline. As time passed, the cute girl wanted to feel stronger. After gymnastics, she took on weights. But there was an episode in her life, which would move the girl to truly take serious her training. At school, she liked this boy. The guy did not pay attention to her. And to sum it all of, the guy had a girlfriend that had a reputation for being a trouble maker. Most of the girls were afraid of her. Still, Norelys dug the guy. The guy teased her a lot and made fun of her. Just for his amusement. One day she asked her out. Our heroine was thrilled. She did not even consider what was in store for her. After the date, the guy lead her toward a lonely street. Norelys did not suspect anything. On the street she found the trouble maker along with her friends. The whole thing was staged. The girlfriend started to yell at her boyfriend and started insulting our heroine. Norelys did not just sit there and started insulting back. Not only that. The girl pushed the much larger opponent. This surprised the expatiators. The trouble maker did not hesitate and landed a punch to Norelys' face. After that, she pushed the smaller girl down. Norelys felt dazed because of the attack. The much larger opponent just smiled and invited Norelys to stand up. Norelys did so. Her dizziness faded and turned into anger. Once on her feet, the trouble maker rammed her throwing rapid fire punches. She fought as if she were a boy. Norelys limited herself to fight like a girl and pulled her opponents hair. She was on inferior conditions. Norelys' opponent smashed her knee on our heroine's stomach. The air was extracted from her lungs. The larger opponent fired a combination of three punches impacting Norelys's face. The cute girl was defenceless while the punches connected. The young girl was cornered against a wall. The enemy advanced, but our heroine in a desperate act kicked her on the leg. She than fired a right punch. The enemy caught it with one hand. Norelys fired another punch with the same results. The trouble maker just bended the smaller girl's arms. She kicked Norelys' stomach extracting the remaining air from her lungs. She fired another combination that put Norelys out of commission. Norelys fell on the floor sobbing completely defeated. Her rival had beaten her senseless. She told her to stay away from her man or she would leave her in a worst condition the next time they met. Norelys bled from her nose and a split lip. She was sobbing and saw how her enemy stood on top of her. Legs apart. Signal of pure victory. The guy that watched the scene just smiled. She loved the way his amazone defeated her rival without mercy. He left with her, This event changed Norelys' life. She started to lift weights and practice sports that required plenty of strength such as basketball and cycling. After that, she learned how to defend herself entering self defence classes. She wanted pay back for that humiliating defeat. She found out the name of the girl that defeated her. MARTA. But three days after the incident, the girl was expelled because she swore to a teacher. Norelys never saw her again but she had this deep feeling on her insides. She wanted payback. That is the sole reason she did all she did. For the day they met again. She would be more prepared. She still had to wait. In the meantime, her condition just allowed her to make a great impression on Carlos. Carlos was fascinated with the cute girl. She did more repetitions each time she went up the bars. Her sweat shirt was completely drenched. The afternoon sun was kicking in, and even though they were under the shadow of a big tree, the heat was immeasurable. "Don't you feel hot?", Carlos asked. Norelys smiled and nodded. Soon after she turned her back and removed her sweatshirt. She had a black top that hugged tightly her upper body. Carlos watched in awe for the first time Norelys's physic. Her back was broad. It formed a V with her hips. Her shoulders looked strong. She turned back and asked her friend to hold her sweater while she fixed up her hair. Carlos noted her arms. They were strong and firm. Well developed. Carlos could see the product of constant workouts. He could see some veins and muscle fibber rip out. The amazing thing was that Norelys never lost her femininity. She looked gorgeous. A fine girl. Carlos was dumbfounded as he extended his arms to take the sweater. His jaw was completely dropped. Norelys watched the awe on her friend's face. She smiled at him and wetn back towards the bars. She looked at him deeply on the eyes with a sensual look. She than started up and down. Doing her routine. Only ... more slowly. Carlos contemplated the muscles on the girl of his dreams. For him, it was a great expectacle to see the cute girl realize her routine. He watched her muscles tone in and out. Specially her biceps. Carlos counted the repetitions and marvelled Norelys' effort. She did 16 in total. The girl actually always reached 13 but with Carlos as an audience, she had the desire to do more. He showed off on the field, she though. Now is my turn. She finished her routine and rested a while. She took the pleasure of admiring Carlos' expression. It just showed her work out paid of. But it didn't stop there. After a brief conversation, in which Carlos fired a few beautiful comments on her physic. Norelys looked at the steady bar. She got up and fired a sensual look at Carlos. She smiled and started going up and down on the bar. Her hands were separated and her neck reached the bar each time. She was doing Iron Crosses. Considered one of the most difficult exercises that can be done on the bar. Carlos was completely turned on by this. The girl was truly powerful. And even though she kept exercising, her beauty never disappeared. The Cute Girl moaned each time she lifted her body. But every time she caught a glimpse of Carlos, it was like she got a second wind. She finished a total of seven Iron crosses and than came down from the bar. She asked for her sweater and rested on the near by bench. The couple started a conversation about sports and their different disciplines. Norelys told him he was a great soccer player while Carlos commented she was the most beautiful and powerful girl she had ever met. Their eyes met and you could feel the chemistry between them. They rested a bit more. Soon they got up for a drink of water and they left the park. Outside, they kissed for the first time. It was close to the lips. Norelys boarded the bus while Carlo took the subway. He spent the rest of the day thinking about her. About his day. About her physic. Norelys did the same. She had found Carlos very attractive. In both cases, they knew each other a lot. The probabilities that their friendship would transcend to another level were getting better by the minute.
